Review of River of No Return (1954) by Glen O — 05 Apr 2013
I thoroughly enjoyed this Otto Preminger film about a saloon singer (Marilyn Monroe) who finds domestic stability when she falls in with a farmer (Robert Mitchum) seeking to reconcile with his son and start life over in Indian territory.
The location shots are great and even the songs have a winning western charm. The only disturbing aspect is what amounts to an attempted rape perpetrated by Mitchum's character who is otherwise a model of uprightness and integrity.
Apparently even nice guys just couldn't help themselves back then.
